Almost Half a Year of Empties: August, September, October, November & December 2013

I am still trying to catch up on some (very) belated posts! To catch on this 'empties' series, I am combining 5 months (August, September, October, November and December) of empties into this single post. Unfortunately, since I used most of these products months ago, I don't recall my opinion on several of these products. So, instead of the usual review of each product, this post is more of an inventory of product empties.

Over the past year, the amount of products that have come 'in' to our apartment seem to have outweighed the amount of products that have gone 'out' of our apartment. So, to help eliminate clutter and reduce waste, I am trying to swap/sell items and also 'use up' my current inventory of products! 

5 months of empties

Travel Size Thursday: Clear Scalp & Hair, Gluten Free Beauty, Earthpaste, Lierac, Supergoop

@BeautyEmpties recently started #travelsizethursday on Instagram. The premise of this activity is that you try 5 samples for the week and then post your results. I loved the idea because it's a great way to use up my stash of samples. Also, I love reading the results from each of the participants at the end of each week.

Here are my 5 recent picks for #travelsizethursday:

Birchbox Haul: Clarisonic, Gloss Moderne, Marvis, MicrodermaMitt and Suki

I seem to have amassed a small mountain of products in our tiny NYC apartment. One of the reasons behind the growing amount of products is because I had a recent Birchbox haul! 

In addition to monthly subscription boxes, Birchbox has an online store filled with beauty, lifestyle and even home goods. I've mentioned previously that Birchbox subscribers receive 10 reward points for completing product feedback surveys. For each 10 reward points, you get $1 credit in the Birchbox online shop. With a savvy combination of Birchbox points, promo codes and gifts with purchase, I only spent $54.48 for this entire haul (worth over $250). So, the Birchbox points system is wonderful.

Here is my Birchbox haul:

May and June 2013 Empties

I did not get around to posting my May empties, so I am combining my May and June empties into this single post. I am determined to use up my inventory of samples and full size products! I am proud to say that I have been using up significantly more products ever since my first empties post in February.

Product Review: Supersmile Toothpaste

I drink several cups of tea throughout the day and to prevent tea-stained teeth, I regularly use whitening toothpastes. I picked up Supersmile toothpaste on a recent haul and I'm excited to tell you about my experience with this toothpaste!

Supersmile products! 

April 2013 Empties

I had focused on using up samples during the month of April! 

Empties: April 2013

Influenster Sugar N' Spice VoxBox

I was thrilled to receive a 'Sugar 'N Spice' Influenster VoxBox in April. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Most Recent Haul - Eminence, Farmhouse Fresh and Supersmile!

This haul includes products from 3 companies that I have learned about and have been interested in recently. Lately, I started reading the ingredient labels of skincare products, just like I do with food products. Currently, I do not solely use natural skincare and beauty products. However, I appreciate when products are free of parabens, petrochemicals and synthetic chemicals. Eminence and Farmhouse Fresh products do not contain parabens or sulfates. I read great reviews of all these products prior to purchasing, so I am excited to start incorporating these products into my routine!
